Tornado Alley Amy, 42, became partially paralyzed when she heroically served as a human shield to protect her two children as a tornado hit her home in Hendersonville, Tennessee in 2006. While her two children survived with little to no injury, Amy sustained a concussion, brain damage and spinal cord injury as a result of the force of the tornado, which also destroyed her home. She says she now experiences daily pain and has been told she needs another surgery to replace two screws that have come loose in her back. Amy and her husband, Jerrod, join The Doctors to share their story of bravery in the face of great danger.

“So much has changed since the tornado hit,” Amy says. “I’m not able to do so many things that I used to be able to do. I want to still be the mom that I was before.”
